Knowing FCW, his role probably changes weekly.

He did look like he was having fun there though.

So do people snorting coke. That doesn't mean it's good for them.

Rob Naylor as the Precious to Ricardo Rodriguez' Sunshine is an angle with great potential in my imagination.

That Amazon-looking blonde chick in the Naylor segment is Danielle Moinet, formerly of the Lingerie Football League. Does she have an onscreen name yet? It'd be pretty funny if she got to keep her name and Eddie Guerrero's daughter didn't.

I'm wondering when Rob Naylor will become Marcus Sheehan or something.

As a heterosexual male, it feels terribly wrong for Adrianna Lima to be #8 at...well, anything.

Went to this play last night. Pretty amazing show. If it comes 'round your area, be sure to check it out. It was obviously written by someone who's a HUGE wrestling geek.

I feel like the only wrestling fan on the internet that has no idea who Rob Naylor is. I looked it up & it makes sense because I never watched DGUSA but I didn't think DGUSA was that popular in the first place, so his popularity is surprising to me.

He used to post at this board (not frequently, but sometimes) and way more frequently at DVDVR.

It's been a while but I remember him arguing against the "Work smart", "Play your role well" trend on the net and being more into the "high impact" offense stuff that was popular in the beginning part of the decade

It has nothing to do with DGUSA. More to do with his posts on DVDR and tonnes more forums like CZWFans. Personally for me it was probably his appearences on the awesome and frankly extremely influential Joe Vs The World podcast at the start of the podcast boom. His appearance on JVSTW lead to him being an in demand podcast guest which then lead him cohosting his own show with goodhelmet on here. He also gained a bunch of friends in the wrestling business by going to shows and from those lurking/posting on forums reading his posts. Extremely entertaining communicator and knowledgeable guy who definitely tapped into what was happening on the indies the past 10+ years or so.

I find WWF squash matches to be really tedious to sit through. It feels like the stars are just sleep walking through the match most of the time and it always feels slow and plodding. The matches always seem to go on too long. I find myself bored after about an episode. JCP shows on the other hand, I could sit through hours of squash matches on those shows. Just seeing the way the JCP guys absolutely destroy guys week after week makes me really happy. The JCP shows just feel so fast paced and fun compared to the WWF television.

I love this phooney phone call by Sal and Richard from the Stern show to a pro wrestling radio show from a few years ago!

 

Naylor is a guy who loves what he loves as earnestly and emotionally as anyone and is really good at letting others feel how they feel too, disagreeing without insulting, so it's hard to fault him for much.

He's a great guy and more power to him.

I could see Rob being a better Josh Matthews than Josh Matthews is, if that makes any sense. I just hope he doesn't end up one of those guys who hates the business after being run through the WWE wringer, It would be sad to see someone who enjoys what he does have it get squashed.

Sometimes I wonder: did we change or did wrestling change?

Both.

I also want to broach the topic of cultural divide between the UK, Europe, and American members of our community, but I don't nearly have the level of attention and sophistication necessary to handle that right now.

I got a kick out of this :

Indeed.

I'm perfectly happy sticking the French and Danish together when it comes to wrestling, but I'm not sticking the Brits and the French together. I am happy sticking the Scots and the Brits together, though. But that's just anecdotal from what I've seen between here and DVDVR. If we really need to split it more we can. But I think there are pretty clear trends to be found. Or maybe there aren't, but that's what I think is worth examining..

Has Naylor stopped posting and doing podcasts since he hooked up with FCW? I haven't read DVDVR in a long time. I always loved his appearances on podcasts for his stoned punk rock surfer dude who LOVES wrestling vibe.
